Details: The Associated Press journalist asked Zelenskyy whether the "static battle lines" caused some pressure from Ukraine's allies regarding peace talks with Russia.

Quote: "I don't feel it yet. 

...Some voices are always heard."

Background:

• In early November, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he did not think the situation on the front in Ukraine was at a stalemate and added that Ukraine would not negotiate with Russia.
• Zelenskyy acknowledged that the long-awaited counteroffensive in summer and autumn this year did not result in the anticipated breakthroughs, but emphasised that Ukraine is not retreating and that it requires assistance in boosting domestic arms production.
